Free Music Notes for Grantstand
Free Music Review: If Green's permitted only one five-star album, make this one 4 and 1/2
Hit: 5 Stars
Green is in characteristically good form, and it's a kick to hear Lateef playing straightahead and without resorting to his exotic paraphernalia kit (not even on his dates with Cannonball does he play with more soul--his simple, carefully developed solo on "Blues in Maude's Flat" with its allusion to "Can't Help Lovin' That Man" worthy of transcription by any young tenor player). Harewood is an underrated, swinging drummer, supplying even more fire than Elvin does on his dates with Grant Green. McDuff will clinch the deal for some. He certainly ensures a grooving, cooking session (though like so many B3 players, his chords and right-hand licks can become familiar in a hurry, making him the least interesting of the three soloists). And the session, above all, captures Green's full, rich sound (dig his allusion to Diz' "Round Midnight" coda at the conclusion of "Valentine").
If Burrell's "Midnight Blue" is 5 stars, "Grantstand" is 5 and 1/2. Besides this one, Green's acclaimed "Idle Moments" is a must-have--if for the title cut alone. But, surprisingly, Green's "I Want to Hold Your Hand" is the Blue Note session I return to most frequently (out of the four in my collection). Larry Young is as light on the behemoth as Tommy Flanagan on a Steinway; Elvin plays tight and right without any danger of overheating; Mobley is typically perfect on each of his turns. At the very least, any group capable of making that stupid Beatles tune worth repeated listens deserves some sort of medal.
